Author Notes: I love making semifreddo. It's like a delicious frozen mousse. You can make all the components in advance so it is great for a dinner party where you don't want to be leaving your guests alone to prepare dessert. This recipe does make a lot of semifreddo but you can put the extra in the freezer and it lasts a few months. —singing_baker
